What problem does it solve?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solves the problem of unreliable, hallucination-prone answers by grounding LLM outputs in an external, query-relevant knowledge base you control.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Knowledge-grounded Q&A: Answer questions using a curated document corpus (e.g., internal docs, manuals, policies) instead of relying on model memory.
- Semantic search: Enable natural-language retrieval with embeddings, vector databases, and optional hybrid (dense + sparse) strategies.
- Better relevance with reranking: Improve which chunks are used by applying reranking (cross-encoders, LLM rerankers, or MMR).
- Document ingestion pipeline: Cover corpus definition, chunking, embedding generation, indexing, retrieval, and evaluation/monitoring.
- Use Case: Build a customer-support assistant that answers from product documentation and returns citations, while reducing unsupported claims.
Quick Start
Use the rag-implementation skill to design a RAG pipeline that loads documents, splits them into chunks, embeds them into a vector store, retrieves the most relevant chunks for a query, and generates an answer grounded in the retrieved context.
